Friends & Rotarians, the end of my term as your club president has come. Over the course of one year, together we have accomplished the following: - Raised $11,168 for the Veteran's Raffle
- Raised $11,217 from the Grocery Grab
- Raised $20,677 from the Golf Extravaganza
- Supported 2 families with the Adopt a Family program
- Provided 490 pounds of produce to the Sedona Community Food Bank with food from the garden
- Volunteered nearly 2,000 hours in the garden
- Sponsored an Interact Club at Verde Valley School
- Cleaned pounds of trash during a Creek Clean Up Day and the Rotary Week of Service
- Started our Club Visioning process
- Contributed $12,711 from our monthly Happy Bucks to programs including: Hope House, CASA, Ukraine efforts, Guatemala Literacy, Blazin' for Books, Polio Plus, and more.
It takes all of us to accomplish these things and for that I offer my gratitude and appreciation. It's been a year of learning, gathering experience, and accepting responsibility. I appreciate the opportunity to have served and appreciate your patience with me. I look forward to seeing you all at a club meeting, community service event, or in the garden. I gladly hand over the title and duties to my fellow Rotarian and friend, Carolyn Martin. Her leadership and abilities will take us far as a Rotary Club. Please join me in welcoming her and inviting her to show us the way. With gratitude and appreciation, Heather Hermen
